Emotional Intelligence in the Concept of Western Psychology and Islamic Psychology

Abstract Among all creations of God living on this planet, Man is the most intelligent, innovative and creative. Imbued with these qualities, Man was able to plan, create and recreate new things using the resources available in the environment. Man’s position as God’s best creation and as the recipient of the creative intelligence from his Creator has further advanced him in mastering science and technology. As a result of his advancement in knowledge and science in one way or another has ushered Man into creating great civilizations. While the discussion goes on as to whether Man’s creativity is an inborn or a learned behaviour, this paper intends to explore and analyze some of the existing concepts of human creativity found in Western and Islamic psychologies. Very particularly, the researchers would like to examine the concept of creativity put forward by Freudian Psychoanalysis, Behaviorists, Humanistic and Islamic psychologies. It is expected that the findings of this research can motivate mankind to be more dynamic and productive in bringing the much needed positive change to the present world conditions.

The shifting of paradigms in modern psychology has left modern men in a state of confusion on the issues pertaining to what should be the paramount concern of psychology and in the proper understanding on the topic of human nature. In a contrastive manner Islamic psychology which has been promoted by Muslim scholars alongside with the process of Islamization of knowledge and education, has its roots in the philosophical ideas of early Muslim scholars. Its resurgence, which started some two decades ago, is seen as an initiative to introduce Islamic understanding on man to the conflicting ideas prevalent in modern psychology. Its approach, which is mainly philosophical in nature, goes back to the ideas on man mentioned in the two primary sources of Islam, the Qur’an and ×adÊth. Islamic psychology with its comprehensive ideas on human nature has been seen by Muslim scholars as a new perspective in psychology that can fill in the lacunae present in the modern psychological thoughts on man, and clears the mist that surrounds most Western theories on man. This paper represents an attempt to analyze and also synthesize Western psychology and Islamic psychology in terms of their nature, development, contributions, and problems.

Muslim Scholars

Initially Islamic Psychology studies and development made many Muslim scholars were spellbound by western psychology theories. They used them as a tool to analyze all sorts of phenomenon Muslim society and give the solution. It is important to remember that the Islamic Psychology concept should be built by the Muslim psychologists their selves. However, the western psychology concept is not necessarily suitable with the needs and purposes in Islam area. Because of that, the writer is interested to discuss the Islamic Psychology Methodology. Hopefully, Islamic Psychology can be an alternative way to solve Muslim society psychological problem especially and all of human being in generally. There were three approaches used by classic Muslim scholars to discuss psychic problem. They are skriptualis approach, falsafi/philosophy approach, and tasawwufi/Sufism approach. They are two studies in Islamic Psychology research; they are the theory and the method. Islam puts wahyu (divine revelation) as a religion paradigm which admits the existence of Allah in belief or in the implementation in the construction of science. Acsiologically, Islamic Psychology is built up to get the prosperity for human being. In epistemology, there is a relationship (nisbah) between mind and intuition. In ontology, it is for understanding human being as sunnatullah. Thus, al-Qur’an is the main source. Both of positivism and rationalism ideologies have different perspectives in finding the truth. Positivism believes that there is only one sensory truth. It could be observed and approved by anyone. In other side, Rationalism admits three truths. They are imperi-sensual truth, imperi-logic truth, and imperi-ethic. Both of the ideologies do not admit metaphysical and transcendental matters. As the result, the Islamic Psychology research will come true. Finally, to build up an Islamic Psychology as a branch of science, we still have so many things to do.

Daniel Goleman's social intelligence is one of Western psychology, which is certainly different from Islamic psychology. The main foundation of Islamic psychology is the Qur‟an and the Hadith, which is different with western psychology which based on phenomelogy, so that the scope of western psychology only to the physical-biology, psychological dimensions and socioculture. From the analysis of several verses of the Qur‟an, there are several indicators wrapped in two dimensions namely; feelings (1. Positif Thingking, 2. Affection, and 3. Sincere) and actions (1. Helping and 2. Gratitude). The five indicators as well as social intelligence developed by Goleman have a two-dimensional relationship between feelings (invisible) with actions which will be taken after having these feelings. As an example of the sincere indicator. Sincerity is an intention that cannot be expressed verbally, because its only Allah and the person who knows about the sincerity.

This aspect is spiritual, transcendent, sacred, free, independent and inclined towards goodness. This dimension is divided into three aspects, namely: a) an-nafs b) al-Aql c) Qalb. 3) Ruhaniah dimension which means the psychological aspect of man, this aspect has two things namely the origin and the existence. The three aspects above are expected to be able to be used to develop Islamic psychology and determine the direction as well as challenges for scientists in the future.

This study stems from Dr. Zakiah Drajat who began to introduce the psychology of religious views. However, it was not until 1994 that through the national symposium, Islamic psychology enthusiasts were finally collected and came to an agreement to name the new knowledge in the name of Islamic psychology, after many names were proposed, among them the Psychology of Qur'ani, Psychology of Tasawwuf and so on. Islam is a concept that is outside of its adherents; but as a belief, Islam became part of its adherents. To deepen the psychology of the Muslims, it takes a separate study that has not been touched by the study of western psychology. This study is the focus of the study of Islamic psychology. Keywords: Islamic Psychology, Psychiatry, Western Psychology Abstrak Kajian ini bermula dari usaha Dr. Zakiah Drajat yang mulai mengenalkan psikologi dari tinjauan agama. Namun baru pada tahun 1994, melalui simposium nasional, para peminat psikologi Islam akhirnya dikumpulkan dan muncullah kesepakatan untuk menamakan pengetahuan baru tersebut dengan nama psikologi Islam, setelah sebelumnya, banyak nama diusulkan, di antaranya adalah Psikologi Qurâ€™ani, Psikologi Tasawwuf dan lain sebagainya. Islam adalah konsep yang berada di luar diri pemeluknya; namun sebagai keyakinan, Islam menjadi bagian dari pemeluknya. Untuk mendalami kejiwaan kaum muslim, dibutuhkan kajian tersendiri yang selama ini tidak tersentuh oleh kajian psikologi barat. Kajian inilah yang menjadi fokus kajian psikologi Islam.

Purpose Nationwide, upward trends exist in student issues with anxiety, stress, depression, and lowered classroom performance. As emotional awareness and emotional regulation skills are typically not addressed in professional discipline-specific courses, students experience challenges in their academic performance. This pilot research explored the effect of brief targeted classroom practices within an empowerment-based framework on domains of emotional intelligence. Method Twenty-two students in an undergraduate speech-language pathology class received a 13-week, biweekly, 15-min session of empowerment-based worksheet exercises to develop increased self-esteem, emotional awareness and regulation, and communication. Assessments of self-esteem, emotional intelligence, communication competence, and communication apprehension were conducted using validated scales, namely, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale ( Rosenberg, 1965 ), the Quick Emotional Intelligence Self-Assessment ( Mohapel, 2015 ), the Self-Perceived Communication Competence Scale ( McCroskey & McCroskey, 2013 ), and the Personal Report of Communication Apprehension ( McCroskey, 1982 ), respectively. Midsemester and semester-end student reflections were collected. Results Paired t tests were significant in self-esteem and emotional quotient, including subdomains of emotional awareness, emotional management, social emotional awareness, and relational management. Significance was noted in communication competence in the subdomains of dyad interaction, stranger interaction, and acquaintance. Students' reflection showed significant improvement in empowerment and self-rated improvements in confidence, communication, connections with peers, and trust with instructor. Conclusion Preliminary evidence demonstrates positive outcomes with integration of intentional classroom exercises to build emotional intelligence (including emotional awareness and regulation), self-esteem, and communication. This empowerment model may assist faculty in developing effective pedagogical strategies to build students' self-resiliency.

Zusammenfassung. In der vorliegenden Studie wurden die Emotionale Intelligenz und das Führungsverhalten von Trainern erhoben. Insgesamt 215 Fußballtrainer bearbeiteten die deutsche Kurzversion des Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue-SF; Freudenthaler, Neubauer, Gabler, Scherl & Rindermann, 2008 ) und die Leadership Scale for Sports (LSS; Würth, Saborowski & Alfermann, 1999 ). Neben der inhaltlichen Auseinandersetzung mit der Emotionalen Intelligenz und dem Führungsverhalten von Trainern werden die eingesetzten Verfahren einer kritischen Prüfung unterzogen. Die Prüfung der Testgüte für die vorliegende Stichprobe zeigt akzeptable interne Konsistenzen für den TEIQue und für zwei Subskalen der LSS (Demokratisches Verhalten und Soziale Unterstützung) Trainer der verschiedenen Lizenzstufen unterscheiden sind in ihrer selbstberichteten Emotionalen Intelligenz nicht voneinander. Für die Gesamtstichprobe werden Zusammenhänge zwischen Emotionaler Intelligenz und allen Subskalen (soziale Unterstützung, fachliche Unterweisung, demokratisches Verhalten und positives Feedback) der LSS gefunden. Die Diskussion nimmt sich der Einschätzung der verwendeten Messverfahren an und hebt die Bedeutung von sportspezifischen Instrumenten hervor.
